Chart-ing out 2022
2022 was the year the Steelers beat Tom Brady so everything after that is just gravy.
Before we get to the best in 2022's music later in this blog (a link to the Spotify playlist is here if you're impatient) and releases by my kids, I know you all are time pressed and only mildly interested so I made some charts to talk about the rest of the year
Alright my email list hostages and volunteers, let's do this
Here's a Video of Pete letting us know he's going to take his talents to Charlottesville, VA
